Sunrise window explained: who gets to claim names first?

5 replies · 335 views

Several questions about the sunrise window for the pilot registry. Here is my reading of the draft policy, please correct me.

  • For a short period, only existing projects, cooperatives, makers and communities who can show a real, verifiable presence may claim names tied to what they already do.
  • Then a general window opens for everyone, first come, first served within the rules.
  • Protected names (cities, regions, common words of public interest, the network's own institutions) are not for sale and not for first-come claiming. They are held for community use.
  • Every decision and conflict is published in the signed log.

The purpose is to avoid the old story where the fastest speculator wins. What do you think, too strict or too loose?

I like it. I would like violina.yu or something similar but I accept it might be a common word. Who decides what is common?

@luthier_mo good question. The draft says a public list with reasons, a comment period and an appeals path. Nobody decides in secret.

Technical request: the protected list should be machine-readable and versioned inside the signed snapshot so clients and tools can check it.

As a small exporter I want my brand names to be claimable without a lawyer. Please keep the evidence requirements simple for sole traders.

Noted, simple evidence ladder: a signed statement, a working HTTPS origin, optionally a trade registration for those who have one.
